Special requirements

This subject aims to understand the decisions and tasks that emerge during the phases of the entrepreneurial life cycle, such as: opportunity recognition process stage; opportunity evaluation stage; committing the resources; market entry; full launch and growth; maturity and expansion and liquidity event. The subject also aims to provide students with an understanding of the importance of developing project management capabilities and competences within an entrepreneurial venture in such a way that it captures organisational learning and influences, as well as establishing a process that clearly aligns project selection to enterprise strategy. The subject will critically analyse personal opportunities to develop entrepreneurial activities within the student’s own role.
